I'm not taking position on the general argument - but I have a counter example for this particular one - I use specific Linux forums similar to linux-il to gather names of companies which would be relevant for job hunting or general Linux related business and archiving of messages about job postings are very useful for this purpose (not necessarily the position itself, but it gives away something about the Linux/FOSS requirements of a business).

(no, I don't intend to spam those companies, just approach the
relevant people if and when I'm in the right position).
